Our school district builds snow days into the calendar and then we have free days off from school if there's no snow. Being the perpetual optimist that I am, I scheduled a weekend getaway for one of the Friday snow days. Surely it wasn't going to snow and we would bask in our free day off from school.
Surely.
Well...I made reservations, we became excited, and then...it snowed and snowed. Kitty missed school for an entire week. When the free snow day came around a few weeks later, it was no longer a day off from school. It had been cashed in weeks prior.
But I have reservations!
So Kitty ditched. And I felt wonderful about it.
We headed to the ol'stand-by of Pigeon Forge. We ate at our favorite restaurant, we played in the hotel arcade, we walked through a magical light show in the trees called Astra Lumina, and we visited the Alcatraz Crime museum - Kitty was slightly creeped out but was able to do a laser obstacle course so it wasn't all bad.
It was a spectacular weekend and it felt great to be naughty and skip school.
This really worked out for me. I learned a valuable lesson about ditching school.
We should do it more often.
